The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

On the last day of the semester, the test results came out. These test results were not only the Hogwarts final exam results, but also the O.W.L. and N.E.W.T.

Since the exams in the magic world are not based on an internal ranking system, but rather a friendly score system, most young wizards have truly realized the saying "hard work will be rewarded".

Although most industries in the wizarding world are sunset industries, they have one very obvious advantage compared to the Muggle world: they do not involute. If you want to be successful in the wizarding world, all you need is to pass the N.E.W.T. certificate, and this exam that determines the fate of wizards is not a ranking system!

The Wizarding Examination Authority does not stipulate that only the top few percent of wizards can achieve excellence, they only draw the score line. It is equivalent to a test paper with a full score of 100. If you score more than 90 points, you must be excellent. Your level will not be reduced because there are too many people with high scores.

This is really good news!

Of course, the premise is that you can't be a werewolf. If you are a werewolf, it will be useless no matter how good your grades are.

Dislike and fear of werewolves is very common in wizarding society. People who live in a miserable state in the magical world are not necessarily werewolves, but werewolves must live in a very miserable state in the magical world. As a veteran of the Order of the Phoenix, Lupine's own magic level was also top-notch. However, before the invention of the Wolfsbane potion, Lupine actually lived a life of endless meals.

The same goes for the werewolves among the Death Eaters. The only difference is that Voldemort has arranged an iron rice bowl for them, but they are still at the bottom of the contempt chain, being shouted around by the group of servants around Voldemort, without any dignity at all.

The moment the results came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Percy, who had always been a little nervous, had a smile on his face again. He had been worried that his grades were not ideal enough and could not meet the standards required by the Ministry of Magic.

After he saw the series of "O's" on his report card, Percy transformed into the gentlest wizard in Hogwarts. Even if his twin brother put a dung egg under his stool, he Just calmly open the windows for ventilation.

This state of affairs continued until he saw Fred and George's O.W.L. report cards. He checked the transcript several times, and after confirming that it was his brothers' O.W.L. scores, he turned back into the Percy Weasley that everyone knew.

It is said that Percy's voice was louder than the bellowing letter that day.

Fred and George's results can only be described as appalling. The best way anyone can think of to describe them is "they also scored some points."

It can also be seen from the students' results that the professors at Hogwarts are very professional. For example, Harry's Potions class turned out to be "good", and Hermione's Divination class turned out to be "passing"! This time, the girls in the same dormitory suspected whether Tom had betrayed his lust.

Hermione had a passionate confrontation with Professor Trelawney in the exam room, and she actually passed, which is outrageous!

"You didn't really do anything, did you?" Hermione raised her head suspiciously and looked at Tom sitting opposite.

This sentence made Tom tremble all over with anger, and his hands and feet were cold: "Your words insulted my personality and my aesthetics..."

Hermione asked Tom for his report card without comment. By the third grade, it will be difficult for everyone to rank again - students like Tom and Hermione generally take two to three more courses than other students, so how can they be ranked by total score?

However, everyone has a strong point in their minds. The first place in the grade will definitely be chosen between Tom and Hermione. Hermione excelled in all subjects except Divination, while Tom excelled in two subjects: Muggle Studies and Arithmancy.

He didn't review much for Muggle Studies and took the test naked, which was also the choice of most Muggle wizards. The amount of calculations involved in arithmetic divination was too great, and he broke down in the end - he really missed the days of having calculators. But what makes Tom particularly unhappy is that he actually lost to Hermione in terms of calculation ability, which is really hard to understand.

Although Tom has two "good" grades, and Hermione has one "passing grade", it is difficult to evaluate who is better and who is worse. Both parties unilaterally believe that the other is better.

At the end of the semester, there is another big event: the awarding of the College Cup. With its outstanding performance during the semester and its outstanding performance in the Quidditch Cup, Ravenclaw House won this year's College Cup Championship. The end-of-term banquet will be held in the bronze and sky blue colors representing Ravenclaw.

The overall atmosphere was harmonious and happy. Everyone ate, drank, talked and laughed together, and also said goodbye to the graduating seniors. There will be a lot of vacant positions for prefects, presidents, captains, etc. of each college, and the deans will have to make arrangements during the holidays.

"I have decided that I will not go to Muggle Studies next school year." After the dinner, Hermione found Tom with a time turner.

"You finally figured it out!" Tom has always felt that there is no need for young wizards from Muggle families to take Muggle Studies. On the contrary, pure-blood wizards should be forced to take this course.

The current situation is just the opposite. Muggle Studies is almost a must for Muggle wizards. Very few pure-blood wizards are willing to take this Muggle Studies course, which makes this course completely meaningless.

"This year's Time Turner really puts too much pressure on me..." Hermione sighed and said, "If I quit Muggle Studies and Divination, I can have a normal class schedule."

Tom thought for a moment, "I want to quit Muggle Studies and Arithmancy."

"Well, then I'll go find Professor Flitwick - wait, you want to quit Arithmancy?" Hermione raised her head, "You want to continue taking Divination class?!"

Tom nodded.

"But in this case, our class schedule may be different," Hermione suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart. She had been taking classes with Tom since she entered school. Tom suddenly stopped taking Arithmancy, so what should she do?

"Can you..." Hermione instinctively wanted to beg, but she felt that she was going too far - why should she control Tom's class registration plan?

"Why don't I give up Arithmancy as well," Hermione thought, and came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

"It's not necessary. Don't you like arithmetic divination very much?" Tom comforted him gently, "I can't go anywhere else. Go and do it as you think - or, there is another way, let's keep this Get a time turner, and then I will accompany you to do arithmetic and divination. But the ugly thing is ahead, I will not touch the arithmetic and divination homework."

"What about Professor Flitwick...?" Hermione was still hesitant.

"We'll talk about the future in the future." Tom believes that there is always a solution to things. But right now, what they need more is to get on the train home. A wonderful summer vacation is waiting for them!
